Are you in the right directory where adb and fastboot are located?

Hold the power button first to turn it off. Then, hold vol +, - and power., Boot into bootloader and select recovery. This method is only for Ubuntu that has been flashed using recovery. If you boot Ubuntu using fastboot or the images, I don't know.

Hey guys,

I'm coming off from iPhone and last Android device I had was Froyo. I'm familiar with roms, but I forgot some things that I hope you can answer. I've already got my bootloader unlocked, device is rooted, etc. If I were to flash a rom like Cyanogen, can I flash the system image rather than the zip? The reason being is I don't want to change my radio and keep it at .33 so my LTE option won't break.

I currently have 4.2.2 running. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
The zip doesn't touch your radio. Just flash it.

Check the updater.script if you don't believe me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3rv1cet3ch:
Yeah he's right also there's a thread with all the radios you can flash too

Just don't try run the 4.2.2 radio on a 4.1.2 ROM, it will mess with sensors.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xozeus:
Hi. To introduce myself, I came from iPhone universe and I'm new to Android system.

I'm used to linux systems and I'm also a developer...

Here, I just want some answer about "hacking" actions on my fresh Nexus 7 device because I red a lot of articles but I still don't understand all this stuff..

Correct me if I'm wrong but in order to install a custom ROM (which it's my goal), these are the steps:

1. Unlock bootloader (--> wipe all datas)

2. Root the device (manually with "adb" or automatically with a toolkit : "nexus 7 toolkit" or "wugs")

3. Install custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)

4. Flash a kernel

### My Questions ####

a) Coming from Linux world I can't get with the wiping of data while unlocking the bootloader. A bootloader is a simple portion of code which locate the kernel for booting the system. So, in my head, it just can't wipe or deal with user's data!!!

b) Rooting the device. Huuum, that's the part that I fully understand. I will probably use a toolkit because I'm on Mac and I don't want to download all the SDK packages, drivers, ect.. only to type 5 commands. Althought, I've red all the adb and fastboot commands :)

c) The purpose of the custom recovery is to replace the bootloader by an advanced one which can deal with flashing partitions and caches, backuping, exact?!

d) Flashing the kernel. LOL, it sounds like "compiling the kernel" which is the noob's favorite expression :) Personally, I only do one compilation of my kernel for 10 years.. So do I really need to "flash" the kernel?

e) I red that I have to choose a specific kernel to work with the custom ROM. WTF?! And I don't speak about overcloaking or kernel governors/schedulers.... I'm lost :D

==> All I wan't to do is trying some custom ROMs like CM, Paranoid, Smooth.... to find which fits the best for me :D

Thank you for your help and sorry for this beginner post but I really need advices and to summary into a single place.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Hi

#3.5 Make a full Nandroid Backup with the custom recovery. Get a copy of it off the device, too. You will thank me profusely for this later - mark my words.

#4 Should be "flash a ROM", not "flash a kernel" : the boot partition (a binary blob containing a Linux kernel plus it's initial ramdisk) plus 100% of the files that live in the /system mount point). A custom kernel is optional as 100% of ROM devs provide a default boot image, or let you choose one as part of their installation.

That is a security feature if the tab is stolen - a thief can't get your creds. By unlocking the boot loader you are making things easier for a bright thief. Of course, not using a screen lock, or having a custom recovery on the tab gives a thief the same opportunities.

Do as you will. Google makes things more difficult than it need be; but all you really need on a Mac is the adb and fastboot executables plus supporting link libraries (I recall using both on a live Linux CD boot with a thumb drive - I think only one additional shared lib was needed - three files total.)

No concerning the boot loader - Yes sorta for the rest of it. Bootloader is analogous to BIOS - it is not the same as the "boot partition". Just as with a BIOS, you should probably avoid fooling with it. The bootloader and recovery boot are completely separate. There are two Linux kernel bootable partitions: boot and recovery. These partitions both hold a Linux kernel and a ramdisk. In fact, the kernel is usually identical in both - the only difference between them is that the recovery ramdisk starts up *nothing* which needs either /system or /data to be mounted. This means that it has a small toolset built to live in the ramdisk AND can perform offline file system maintenance on /data and /system - including destroying them completely and rebuilding them. Contrast that to booting the regular "boot image" that will start up regular ole Android - all that Dalvik code needs both /system and /data to be mounted, thus making it impossible to do aggressive filesystem updates (e.g. OTAs) without wedging the OS

Think of the recovery as being similar to "single user mode" in Linux. The only difference is that completely separate kernels and ramdisks are used, and the don't live inside file systems... they are stored in raw partitions (boot and recovery)

By convention, ROMs come with a boot image (Note: NOT bootloader) so flashing a kernel is always optional. When it is done though, it needs to be done after flashing a ROM bundle (see previous sentence for the why of it)

Not true. However, there probably are ROM+kernel combinations that don't mix and match well. Some kernel devs ship an entire boot image (kernel + ramdisk), and some of them ship kernel only along with an installer that patches the prior existing boot image. Suffice it to say you should expect some bumps in the road.

They will only be bumps if you have backups, and big headaches if you don't.

Just today i got a vibrant for 50 bucks so i had to buy it jejeje well the thing is that is running the stock 2.1update1 and its killing me. But I really dont know wich rom to try, I want to flash a stable,fast,good battery life rom to use as my daily driver. So any suggestions???

My phone is s-off and a gsm model. Do i just got to fastboot and type "fastboot oem unlock" and then i can flash cwm or do i have to do something else?

Yes do that. After that flash a recovery. Then root.

The command is

If your phone is really s-off,(check again) you can root your phone without unlocking the bootloader.

I gotta second this. Their warrantee service is second to none. They replaced a Defender for my Vivid because the rubber was stretching and tearing.

The phone would be trash long ago if not for the OtterBox protection.

I've been using an Incipio hybrid case ever since my Otterbox started tearing (see above) and I have only one complaint, the outer hard shell is brittle and can crack if dropped the right way. It survived very many drops and its not cumbersome in my pocket, something I cant say for my old Otterbox.

Software

​

Interestingly, the tablet isn’t bogged down out of the box by bloatware, and in fact, preloaded third party apps are kept to a minimum. Specifically, it’s preinstalled with only a free app market, a WPS office, a VIVA HD magazine reader which only offers Chinese magazines, and some Google applications (Google Maps, Google Talk and Google Play).

Battery Life​

​

The Dolphin features three Li-Po rechargeable batteries of 4,000 mAh, which add up to an ass-kicking 12,000mAh of power, offering more than 10 hours of intense usage. During my 720P video-playback test, the Miracle One (with 30% display brightness and 50% of speaker volume) lasted 12 hours and 40 minutes, which is by far the best result I have had testing any tablet.

​

But here’s also another annoying issue, the tablet cannot be charged under a shutdown state, every time I plug in the charging cable, the tablet automatically boots itself. A full charge can take up to 7.5 hours with the bundled 5V-2A charger. What should also be noted here is that the tablet is charged via the Micro USB port, not the 2.5mm DC port we have seen on almost all Chinese tablets.

Verdict​

​

The Good:

1.4 GHz Exynos4412 Quad-Core Processor

Adorable industrial design

1GB LPDDR2 RAM

12,000 mAh Lithium battery.

5MP rear camera

3MP front camera (webcam)

Stereo Speakers

The bad:

No Bluetooth

No Micro SD card slot

No HDMI

Excessively Customized user interface

Incapability of charging under a shutdown state

Unquestionably, this is the tablet to own right now if you’re in the market of buying one, and trust me, you won’t be disappointed at all. First and foremost, we have to give Benyi credit in taking the opportunity in delivering such a high-caliber tablet that’s no doubt a benchmarker in many categories.

Ushering us into the age of quad-cores, the Benyi Miracle One screams remarkably in the processing department – making it the fastest and best performing Android tablet I’ve had the prestigious opportunity of checking out. For some time now, Android had this stigma of never achieving the fluidity and responsiveness found with iOS, but this seemingly breaks them down and shows the endless possibilities of an Ice Cream Sandwich powered device. To balance things out, I am also impressed that battery life isn’t compromised in the least bit, as it’s able to surprise me with its excellent performance.

When you think about its adorable industrial design, muscle power quad-core processor, impeccable battery life, and brilliant looking IPS display, and its choice of Foxconn as the OEM, you could easily assume that it should be quite costly. However, Benyi has somehow managed to keep its cost of ownership quite affordable. The 16GB version of the tablet, along with a very gorgeous protection case and a piece of high quality anti-friction screen cover, is priced at RMB1990 ($319). I would not say it’s the cheapest quad core android tablet you can get coz it’s not, but I would say it’s the best quad-core tablet you can get under RMB 2,000 ($320.00).

Here is the score I would give this device:
